Method

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, place the blackberries and cook until they burst and release their juices, approximately 10 minutes.

  2. Using the back of a wooden spoon, press the cooked blackberries through a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl to collect approximately 1 cup of blackberry juice. Discard the seeds and pulp. Allow the juice to cool to room temperature, approximately 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

  4. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, almonds, and salt. Pulse a few times until everything is combined and the almonds are finely ground.

  5. Add melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse several more times until the mixture is crumbly and resembles wet sand.

  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared tart pan and press it very firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of the pan.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are lightly browned. Allow it to cool on a wire rack while preparing the filling.

  8. In a large heat-safe bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt for the filling. Mix in the cooled blackberry juice, eggs, egg yolk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.

  9. Bring a pot
